Recommend County Officials Resign A Randolph county grand jury has recommended the resignation of the county assessor, deputy assessor, two members of the board of review, and roundly criticized the county aduitor for failure to keep minutes of the board of review meetings. The president of the board of review was castigated for lack of direction and supervision, and for the board’s failure to meet its responsibilities on time. The grand jury also charged that the representative of the state board of accounts had encouraged th board to violate the law. This was presumed to be the hurry with which the 1,900 appeals were rushed through, with no records kept, or minutes on the hearings. The grand jury had been called into session after the prosecuting attorney had investigated complaints concerning the reassessment.
